Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you.
And though they are with you they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.

You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.

You are the bow from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrow may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;

Guess who thinks the Fed might have the rate thing backwards? @wbmosler
"In an interview with Fortune, Rieder argued the Fed’s interest rate hikes are the wrong medicine for the economy’s current disease. 'It’s ambiguous to me today, at best, whether a higher [interest] rate helps bring down inflation versus actually contributes to it,” he said'." 1/

"The 14-year BlackRock veteran, who oversees $2.4 trillion in assets at the world’s largest asset manager and is known as one of the leading voices in the bond market, argued that the Fed may need to change its strategy and opt for rate cuts in order to fight the last remnants of inflation." 2/

"with higher interest rates offering a hefty reward to anyone with the cash to lend, the private sector’s lender status has created a steady, inflationary income stream in a key part of the economy." 3/

A few things to note here:

> Jack Smith not only pushed for an unreasonable trial date of Jan 2024, he asked the Supreme Court to take the “extraordinary” step of bypassing the DC appellate court in deciding on Judge Chutkan’s immunity order, which denied all forms of presidential immunity from criminal prosecution. (SCOTUS said no.)

> When Trump’s defense lawyer objected to the hasty trial date due to the massive amount of discovery discussed here, Judge Chutkan said the president should have been reviewing discovery BEFORE the indictment, referring to Jan 6 committee materials. Chutkan something to the effect of, “you knew you were going to be charged you should have prepared ahead of time.”

In his application for cert before SCOTUS, Smith called his J6 indictment against the president an “extraordinary case.” Having Chutkan rule on the unprecedented question of presidential immunity from criminal prosecution in just 7 weeks; oral arguments set by DC appellate 5 weeks later; and DC appellate court opinion upholding Chutkan issued 4 weeks after that was not quick enough for Smith.

In fact, Justice Roberts criticized Chutkan and the appellate court judges for their rush to judgment in such an historic matter.

Smith, as usual, lied about why he sought a hasty trial schedule.

This is just a taste of what the president and his lawyers had to deal with before Judge Chutkan.

She spent several minutes arguing with attorney John Lauro about the trial date and voluminous discovery. Not only did Chutkan say repeatedly—you knew this indictment was coming—she suggested he was a bad lawyer for not reading not yet produced discovery before the indictment.

This is from the hearing held 4 weeks after Smith announced the J6 indictment:

A city council meeting in Richmond, Calif., ended with shouting and frustration when the body adjourned without considering a measure seeking to censure Mayor Eduardo Martinez, who is under fire for antisemitic social media posts.

@GSDeutch reports:

“This is a complete embarrassment as a city council,” Councilmember Jamelia Brown said before walking away from the meeting room.

“We will stand in solidarity and say that this was antisemitic conduct and behavior, yet we don’t want to formalize it and put it on record. It’s very coward [sic] behavior.”

@GSDeutch “We’re still angry. His apology did not feel genuine. It was sort of like a ‘sorry that my opponents are coming after me’ kind of apology, and so we’re maintaining the position that he should step down,” JCRC CEO @TyeGregory told Jewish Insider.

When are people going to realize Smith is a puppet leader who was installed to break up Canada?

What more needs to happen before Canadians stop asking questions or pointing out odd behaviour and just understand that she was always a fascist pretending to be a loyal Canadian?

Loyalty is always demonstrated in behaviour.

Show me one example of Smith behaving loyal to Canada or even to Albertans as a whole (not just special interest group Christian Nationalists).

You can’t. Because it’s never occurred.

The difficulty people are having is a function of not possessing the intellectual frame required to recognize the deep and profound corruption which is occurring.

When you expect to see normal, that’s what your intellectual frame recognizes.

🚨⚡️Russia has officially won.. Details of the Russian-Ukrainian peace plan, and the cessation of a senseless war funded by the West, for which Kyiv paid a heavy price, while Europe was exposed and the West cracked apart.

Thread 🧵

1

The U.S.-led peace plan to end the Russia-Ukraine war in January 2026, under the leadership of President Donald Trump, includes a draft consisting of 28 points (described in some sources as a revised 20-point version) aimed at ending the conflict that has been ongoing for nearly four years.

2
The key points of the proposed plan in the ongoing trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi on January 23, 2026, revolve around the following:
1. Regional Arrangements and Borders
Ceding territory: The draft includes controversial provisions requiring Ukraine to cede parts of eastern Ukraine, including the Crimean Peninsula and areas in Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia, to Russia.
Buffer and demilitarized zones: A proposal to establish buffer zones and a free economic zone in Donbas, with a Ukrainian offer to withdraw forces up to 40 km if Russia reciprocates.

Billionaires, oligarchs, and other uber-rich elites use offshore financial systems to hide their assets and identities.

A recent study from 65 countries found three distinct patterns of how they do this: (1/15)

Researchers analyzed 3,000+ billionaires using machine learning and found elites use three distinct strategies based on their home country:

- The Confetti Strategy
- The Concealment Strategy
- The Hybrid Strategy

Each is tied to the quality of governance where they're from.

1) The Confetti Strategy

It's used by elites from authoritarian countries where political retribution is a real threat.

They scatter their assets across multiple offshore centers like confetti.
